Kompany is nearing his full return to managerial duties.
Almost three weeks after collapsing during a training session, Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has reportedly returned to the club’s training ground at Säbener Straße on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
According to a report by TZ München journalist Philipp Kessler, shared by Fabrizio Romano, Kompany arrived at Bayern Munich’s headquarters Tuesday morning shortly after 10 AM and was seen working at his computer in his office.
The 40-year-old Belgian head coach was reportedly welcomed by assistant coach Floribert Ngalula. He also held an extended conversation with sporting director Christoph Freund.
This return marked a gradual resumption of Kompany’s managerial duties. He reportedly watched injured players Luis Diaz and Jamal Musiala continue their rehabilitation sessions on the training pitch from his office on Tuesday.

Vincent Kompany’s recovery timeline
Catch Every Update, Anytime, Anywhere
Kompany had collapsed at Bayern’s training ground on October 23. He was taken to hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with meningeal irritation, an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
His condition was described as stable, and he was discharged from hospital on October 28. Since then, the head coach has continued his recovery at home with medication and rest.
Bayern repeatedly stressed that the Belgian would not resume his managerial duties until he had fully recovered. The club’s board member for sport, Max Eberl, revealed that Kompany would need weeks to recover and would not be rushed back to the club.
This decision was made considering his demanding approach to work, which often involves spending up to 12 hours at the training ground. In his absence, assistant coach Aaron Danks led Bayern in five matches, winning four and drawing one.
However, having returned to the training ground, albeit in a limited capacity, Kompany is expected to resume full managerial duties from the touchline after the international break, when Bayern take on 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga on November 20.
